Tems says she doesn’t understand why Future was at the center of the pregnancy rumors she dealt with last year. Appearing on The Breakfast Club, she explained that he seemed to her as random of Drake, Wiz Kid, or any other artist. Future and Tems previously collaborated on the hit record, “Wait for U.”
“I feel like people take the most controversial thing they can think of… I was thinking, why am I pregnant for Future? Like, why Future? Why him? That’s the craziest thing… why not with Wiz [Kid]? Why not with Drake? Why not someone else?” From there, she clarified that her reaction would’ve been the same to either of those artists.

It’s far from the first time Tems shot down the ridiculous rumors. Soon after they popped up, she wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “In conclusion, you people are all mad!!!” During an interview on the Drive Time Show for The Beat 99.9 FM, last December, Tems further revealed that she began receiving death threats as a result. “I didn’t actually think anybody believed it,” she said. “I didn’t know it was serious, I didn’t know until I started getting messages, like death threats. Like, ‘How dare you! Of all the people in the world, Future? Really? Really, of all the people?’ And I’ve never even—I’ve never met him in my life. So, it’s cr*zy.”

Piece By Piece is a unique documentary, in that it tells the story of Pharrell Williams through Lego. But the legendary musician and producer behind “Happy,” “Get Lucky,” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot” didn’t mention the colorful bricks format when he and director Morgan Neville reached out for talking head interviews from the likes of Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Snoop Dogg.
“We purposely did not tell anyone that that would be the finished product. We wanted people to just answer the questions and really give their full, unedited reactions to the opportunity to do the interviews,” Williams confessed to Variety. “Because if we would’ve said, ‘Okay, this is going to be in Lego,’ then people would have sort of curved what they were saying.”
He continued, “We didn’t want them to be influenced by what we wanted. We wanted the purest part. And I feel like part of the magic of what makes this film pop the way it does is because it’s so vivid and it’s not scripted.”
Outside of the three rappers listed above, Piece By Piece also features Gwen Stefani, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, and Pusha T.
Piece By Piece comes out in theaters on October 11. You can find out more here.
Fasten your seatbelts and pop a Dramamine, Nicki Minaj has chimed in on the discourse of the day: Why Lil Wayne isn’t headlining Super Bowl LIX’s halftime show. And, in typical Nicki fashion, her rant on Twitter (which we are never going to call “X”) turned out to be a wild ride.
First things first: I think we are all well aware of why Ms. Minaj would take this so personally. Without Wayne, her rap career very probably would have stalled out long before a “Super Bass” or “Starships,” let alone a “Super Freaky Girl” or “Say So” remix. And then, there’s her intriguing, seemingly one-sided feud with Jay-Z, the founder of Roc Nation, which books the Super Bowl halftime show.
But normally, Nicki reserves this level of unhinged for her beefs with other female rappers, like Latto and Megan Thee Stallion, so it’s kind of fascinating to see her go off like this on someone else’s behalf for once. Here’s what she said:
Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50Cent come out. A white man. Sh*t sad. House N***ER TINGZ. but it’s GOOD FI DEM!!!!!!! No loyalty ? Welp. then n****z will keep son’ing you!!!!!
So… There’s a lot to unpack here. Jay-Z and Roc Nation did sign their deal with the NFL to be the official music partner for the Super Bowl after Colin Kaepernick’s controversial anthem protests. This was something that rightly rubbed a lot of hip-hop fans the wrong way, suggesting that Jay valued the money and platform much more than pursuing meaningful social change. Now, he did secure financial commitments from the NFL for social justice programs, but as with any incremental change, that’s never going to be quite enough for the “burn it all down” crowd.
But to suggest that Lil Wayne is somehow a revolutionary or that booking Kendrick Lamar is a sellout move made to appeal to white people is… WOW.
God forbid if Wayne was to leave this earth right now, the culture would be in mourning. That’s why so many ppl keep saying to give our legends their flowers while they are still around to smell them. Sitting around all day playing games with ppl life & legacy. God ain’t sleep. Gee Roberson you will learn that, too.
For those who don’t know, Gee Roberson is the co-CEO of Blueprint Group, which has had a hand in managing the careers of several high profile artists, including Young Money’s roster with Drake, Wayne, and Nicki, although they parted ways with Nicki some time ago. However, he cut his teeth at Jay’s Roc-A-Fella Records a decade before; it seems Nicki is suggesting that he prioritized his relationship with Jay over those with his more recent charges. She, again, has a bit of a point about giving legends flowers while they’re still around, something hip-hop still struggles with. That’s not the same thing as booking him to perform the biggest corporate event of the year when he’s repeatedly proven that would be a bit of a bad bet this year alone.
When Nicki received pushback for her initial tweets and also she accused blogs covering the Super Bowl selection of being paid off (her go-to accusation, although I personally have never seen any of that money), she doubled down, railing in a follow-up tweet:
God will punish you. Mark my words.
The man that has not only pushed his pen the hardest, but gave the game more than 1 hip hop ICON as well on his watch? Represent the RAP game?!?!! The best RAPPER don’t represent the RAP GAME well enough 4u? Black ppl. Wow. If this don’t hurt your heart to read, it will one day. Look @ how our legends keep being treated. After they’ve given so much to us. Who are you?!!!! You GOD?!?!!!!! Judgmental swine DELETE!!!!!!! lol you will regret tweeting this. Life is funny that way. Don’t you dare turn your nose up @ Lil Wayne you dick munchin bozo.
She seemingly failed to notice all the tweets pointing out how the Super Bowl halftime show has only been headlined by a local act from the host city four times in the event’s 57-year history, but that’s Nicki for you. She’ll tell you a joke, but she won’t tell you a lie — just be real wrong, real loud, for most of a day.
The Jordan Spizike Low is set to release in a fresh “Flax” colorway, bringing a sleek new look to the classic hybrid design. This upcoming version features a rich brown upper, offering a warm and earthy tone that stands out. The combination of black and grey details adds contrast, creating a balanced and stylish aesthetic. A standout feature of the “Flax” colorway is the sanddrift rubber sole and midsole, which complement the brown upper perfectly. The sanddrift hue adds a subtle yet impactful touch, tying the entire look together.
A sanddrift rubber sole and a matching midsole, featuring an air bubble under the heel, form the foundation of the sneakers. Additionally, the uppers, crafted from flax leather, showcase brown overlays along the toebox and heels for a striking look. Sanddrift mesh on the sides adds to the texture, while orange accents brighten the rest of the sneakers.

Tory Lanez says that his Prison Tapes series is on hold “until further notice.” He made the disappointing announcement on Instagram on Tuesday after prison guards seized the recording equipment inside his cell. He’s currently serving a 10-year sentence for his involvement in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
“However, I think it’s important that my fans know the truth about the crooked ass sh*t that’s REALLY going on here,” he began. “My cell was not raided and trashed because I learned how to record myself in prison or because I created ‘The Prison Tapes’. I was shut down because the ‘HIGHER UPS’ figured out what I was really doing with ‘The Prison Tapes’ and how many inmates were being helped in a life changing way because of them.”

Lanez went on to accuse the guards of “the most cruel, illegal, and unfair punishment/treatment,” since he’s been there. He continued: “For so many nights, I asked God to reveal his purpose in making me go through the ills of the prison system. I was later shown that purpose. I was placed in jail to suffer, to feel, and to witness firsthand the pain and oppression being inflicted upon the young black and brown men and women of my generation, I knew I had to change this injustice. So, I made a plan that when I got to prison, I would figure out a way to record music and put all the proceeds towards the legal representation of my fellow inmates, giving them a once in a lifetime chance to go home to their families on appeal and resentencing.”
Tory Lanez Speaks Out After Prison Cell Raid
Lanez concluded by revealing that he’s provided 472 of his fellow inmates with legal representation. He did so with the help of the legal firm, Unite The People. Check out his full statement below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Tory Lanez on HotNewHipHop.
Eminem is not done feeding his Stans in 2024. In a new Instagram post just moments ago, the Detroit legend has just announced an expanded edition of The Death of Slim Shady. Like with the rest of the album’s roll out, the “Houdini” MC is revealing this news via a trailer. It kicks off with the 51-year-old walking calmly and confidently into a lonely beer and wine convenient store. While strolling past the cashier, played by The Alchemist, he heads directly to the refrigerated section in the back. He takes out a half gallon of whole milk, slices it open, and leaves it to leak all over the floor.
The camera zooms in on the carton to reveal a missing poster with Slim Shady being the man on the run. In it, he’s wearing the exact same Jason Voorhees-inspired hockey mask he donned in the music video for “Tobey”. Eminem then exits the store and while leaving, Uncle Al jumps over the counter to yell at him. “Get the f*** out of here! Don’t come back!”. Then, the camera locks onto a surveillance monitor and you can hear the producer hilariously mumble, “They don’t pay me enough for this s***”.
After that, the feed cuts out to show the title of Eminem’s recent album, followed by “EXPANDED MOURNER’S EDITION”. So, yes, after some speculation and hints along the way, we are officially receiving a deluxe of this project. Fans won’t have to wait too long for it either. Playing into the whole murderer theme, it’s coming out on Friday the 13th, which in this case is this Friday, September 13. “MISSING: SLIM SHADY Have you seen him? #TheDeathOfSlimShady Expanded Mourner’s Edition drops this Friday the 13th…”, Em captioned the post. No details are known about tracks or features, but this weekend just got a whole lot more eventful.
